Elmo
could meet Leo.
Zoe the Muppet could
meet Zoey Bartlett.
Somebody, apparently,
has told the cast of "Sesame Street" how to get to Pennsylvania
Avenue. Several of "Sesame Street's" most popular residents
are about to visit television's most popular political drama when Big
Bird, Elmo, Zoe and Rosita guest star on "The West Wing."
The Wednesday, March
3 cameos will mark the first time that these Muppets have guest starred
on a prime time series.
In the episode, President
Bartlett (Martin Sheen) enlists C.J. (Allison Janney) to try to improve
the First Lady's (Stockard Channing) image. As a solution, the First Lady
films a public service announcement where she gives Elmo a checkup.
If this crossover
is successful, perhaps The Count will be called into the Oval Office to
help out next time there's a key vote in the House.
"One Republican
Senator crossing party lines... Ah-hah-hah," he might say.
This year marks the
35th anniversary of "Sesame Street."
